I am licensed as an MFT and Eductational Psychologist with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, and maintain a private practice in Thousand Oaks. I have worked primarily with children, adolescents and families. In the last many years I expanded my practice to include adults with an ongoing interest in Anxiety and related issues. I also treat and received advanced training for less common conditions such as Selective Mutism, OCD, Panic Disorrder, Tourette Syndrome, School Refusal, Trichotillomania, etc.

Formerly, I worked as a Psychologist in public schools, before opening my clinical practice. I conducted comprehensive psycho-educational assessments. I worked with students with learning disabilities, behavioral issues, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, etc. I developed a student advocacy program, conducted group therapy for children and teens, led teacher and parent in-service. I helped develop and coordinate the Student Study Team project for the County Superintendent of Schools office.

Following my dissertation in Attention Dysfunction in Children and Adults. I launched the Conejo Valley CHADD group, a national support organization for those with ADHD. I consulted with the medical and educational community, gave many workshops, lectures, co-authored writings and was a keynote speaker at state and national conferences. I thoroughly enjoyed my dedicated work in ADHD then began expanding my interests in associated fields of anxiety and other co-occuring disorders. My postdoctoral studies led to advanced training in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and related disorders, including impulse control disorders TRICH and BFRB (Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors), Selective Mutism and Social Anxiety, in addition to Tourette and Tic Syndrome.

Currently, I see children, adolescents, adults and families, particularly those experiencing issues related to stress, worry, and anxiety. I am on the UCLA Childhood OCD, Anxiety & Tic Disorders Program referral list. I treat those on the Autism spectrum of all ages who often have associated issues of Anxiety.
